Breaking All Chains
Setting The Captives Free
Achan’s Lesson Applies
To Us Today
By Peter James
from: www.peterjamesx.com
There is a serious problem, which affects, many people today.
This problem and its consequences are clearly stated in the
book of Joshua Chapters 1 to 7.
We have to understand that any association with anything at
all,
which the Eternal God, would qualify as ‘Accursed’, is going to cause
very serious trouble, until the problem is completely
removed.
It does not make the slightest bit of difference, what we
choose to believe.
When the Eternal God, commands us directly, or through His
servants,
we had better pay careful attention.
It is quite impossible to over emphasize, how critical is ‘Absolute Obedience’.
Document: Obey Or Perish
It is the primary lesson with which mankind, has refused to
comply and to obey.
It makes not difference, whether one is a ‘Christian or
non-Christian’.
The reality is that this lesson is going to be learnt,
either the easy or the hard and very painful way.
Matthew 7:4 Or how wilt thou say
to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first
cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of
thy brother’s eye.
We are all experts at seeing the problems of others, but not
our own,
and even when problems are high lighted to us, most times we
go merrily along,
doing our own thing. This is, not only to our detriment, but
it results in serious harm
to the body of Christ.
We make a very serious mistake:
If we choose to ignore a problem, if we feel that in
time, it will go away.
If we think that, surely if such a problem existed, God
would deal with it.
If we think that, it is not my problem.
If we think that, I am studying the bible and praying,
therefore there cannot be a problem.
If we think that, God is speaking to us, and He has not
complained,
so all must be well. Often it never occurs to us, that
the Eternal God might just have
sent His messenger to enlighten us, but in our
blindness, we choose not to accept
what we have been told.
Jeremiah 25:4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the
prophets,
rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor
inclined your ear to hear.
How would you know that such a person has been sent to you?
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their
fruits ye shall know them.
It is absolutely true, that the Eternal God is a God of
love,
but by definition, He also has to be a God of judgment.
1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is
love.
1 John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him.
We are
completely mistaken in the lie, that everything is acceptable,
since
God is love.
The
reasoning is that anything goes as we are now under the New Covenant.
This is
the erroneous definition of Grace.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Furthermore, the
Eternal God can forgive all sins, regardless of how
abominable they might
be.
However, absolutely
nowhere are we told, that He will remove the
penalty for the sin.
It might be delayed, but the price must be paid,
sooner or later.
The Eternal God will
not compromise in the slightest,
for anyone at all.
The
lesson from Joshua chapters 1 to 7, clearly shows us,
that they
Eternal God is also a God of Judgment,
and He
must be obeyed.
It is one
the critical foundation lessons, that is taught from Genesis
to Revelation.
We ignore this fact, to our personal detriment,
and also
to the detriment of the Body of Christ.
At this
critical time, in the history of the world,
we should
all humble ourselves, and put our houses in order,
because
it is much later than we might think.
Many
years ago, we were told, that we must not think that we are some how,
irreplaceable,
because we are not.
First
we see that it is the Eternal God, who chose Joshua,
as the new leader of Biblical Israel, after Moses had
died.
He was not chosen by ballot and voting.
Joshua’s job description was precise.
Obey the Eternal God in all things
and success was guaranteed.
Joshua 1:7 Only be thou
strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe
to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant
commanded thee:
turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper
whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:8 This book of
the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou
mayest observe
to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou
shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:9 Have not I
commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.
All the tribes of Biblical Israel
understood Joshua’s remit,
to the extent that it is the people, who then said that those,
who rebel against Joshua had to
die.
Joshua 1:17 According as we
hearkened unto Moses in all things,
so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be
with thee,
as he was with Moses.
This shows that the tribes of
Israel, were not ignorant of the will of the Eternal God.
Joshua 1:18 Whosoever he be
that doth rebel against thy commandment,
and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou
commandest him,
he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good
courage.
In spite of all of the above, we are told that
‘children of Israel had sinned’,
and that the LORD was very angry with them.
It also meant that as stated in the above verse some
were going to die.
Joshua 7:1 ¶ But the children of
Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing:
. . . . .
and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of
Israel.
The middle part of the verse, which I omitted above,
made it clear,
that it was a single man, called Achan, who had sinned,
but the sin of this one man, had very serious
consequences.
All of the nations of Biblical were suffering as a
result of Achan’s sin.
People actually died.
for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of
Zerah,
of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing:
Achan had sinned by taking something that the Eternal
God had
said was accursed.
For some reason, man chooses not to understand that, ‘No man is an island’.
We only have to consider the consequences of the sin of Adam
and Eve.
Every single human being, who has or will live has and will been
affected
by their sin.
We like to say as long as we are not hurting anyone else,
we can do what we like.
You will see that this is not the case at all.
In Joshua
Chapter 1, we
see that Joshua who took over from Moses
was indeed a mighty anhd faithful man, to whom the Eternal
God made great promises.
This is just one of many promises.
Joshua 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the
days
of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will
be with thee:
I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Joshua 1:6 Be strong and of
a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou
divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their
fathers to give them.
We can see how mightily that the Eternal God was working
with Joshua.
Joshua and the tribes of Israel crossed over the river
Jordan on dry land.
The river parted, and allowed them to cross,
just as the Red Sea had parted and allowed them to
escape from Pharoah.
This was a major miracle.
The first city that Joshua captured was Jericho.
This in itself is a huge lesson for us.
The double walls of Jericho were massive.
The inhabitants would have thought that they were invincible.
Similarly one can think that the accursed thing is too
big to be handled.
It is simply not true.
It is the Eternal God, who brought down the walls of Jericho.
Humble yourself and submit to Him, and He will do the same
for your situation.
Schematic cross-section diagram
of the fortification system at Jericho
based on
Kenyon's west trench.
We can see that all the nation of Biblical Israel
obeyed, the command
not to take anything from the accursed city.
Valuable food was left untouched.
Both Garstang and Kenyon found many storage jars full of grain that had been caught in the fiery destruction.
This is a unique find in the annals of archaeology. Grain was valuable, not only as a source of food,
but also as a commodity which could be bartered. Under normal circumstances, valuables such as grain
would have been plundered by the conquerors. Why was the grain left at Jericho? The Bible provides the answer.
Joshua
commanded the Israelites that the city and all that is in it were to be
dedicated
to the Lord (Joshua 6:17, lit. Heb.).
They captured that city by obeying precisely what the
Eternal God,
had told them to do.
They walked around the city for six days, in silence.
Joshua 6:10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying,
Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice,
neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth,
until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
Joshua 6:15 And it came to pass
on the seventh day,
that they rose early about the dawning of the day,
and compassed the city
after the same manner seven times:
only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
Joshua 6:16 And it came to pass at
the seventh time,
when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the
people,
Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
I have come across this information many years ago.
Then it stated that it appeared that the walls were pushed
down into the ground.
It seems that this is saying the very same thing.
So even after they collapsed, they were not an obstacle.
What an incredible miracle.
The lesson for us is that we must never fear to act,
in order to carry out God’s instructions.
After the seventh trip around the city on the seventh day, Scripture tells us that the wall “fell down flat”
(Joshua 6:20). The Hebrew here carries the suggestion that it “fell beneath itself.”5 Is there evidence
for such an event at Jericho?
p.j. comment: This means precisely what is
said above.
It does not need to be explained away as below.
This why the soldiers could walk straight
forward, without any obstacle at all.
If there were huge piles of rubble, they would
not have been able to do so.
It turns out that there is ample evidence that the mudbrick city wall collapsed
and was deposited at the base of
the stone retaining wall at the time the city met its end.
Jericho, must have been an
exceedingly wicked place.
We see that the entire city was cursed,
even the animals.
There were possibly half breeds,
nephilim, bio-engineering, and beastiality,
both of which polluted the animals.
Idolatry and human sacrifice,
would have been normal.
Thus total destruction was the
sentence.
If you
read through the books of the law, such as Deuteronomy, you will see it
clear warnings not to carry out the
practices of the heathen practices of the land,
which they were being given. Unfortunately Biblical
Israel adopted all these
horrific practices, and still does so today.

Absolutely everything was cursed.
Joshua 6:17 ¶ And the city shall be accursed, even
it, and all that are therein,
to the LORD: only
Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are
with her in the house, because she hid the
messengers that we sent.
The people
were warned not to take any thing from the city,
because
it was cursed. If they disobeyed that person would be cursed,
and
also the whole nation of Israel.
Joshua
6:18
And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the
accursed thing,
lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the
accursed thing,
and make the camp of
Israel a curse, and trouble it.
We are
then told, that silver, gold, and vessels of brass and iron were to be put
in the
Treasury of the Temple.
Joshua 6:19 But all the
silver, and
gold, and
vessels of
brass and iron,
are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come
into the treasury of the LORD.
Joshua saved Rahab as the spies promised.
The city was utterly destroyed, and almost all the gold,
silver, brass and iron,
was put into the treasury of the LORD.
Joshua 6:24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all
that was therein:
only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of
iron,
they put
into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
Joshua 6:25 And Joshua saved
Rahab the harlot alive,
and her
father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel
even unto
this day; because
she hid the messengers, which
Joshua sent to spy
out Jericho.
In Joshua chapter 7, the nation of Biblical Isael, came
to the second city,
which was called Ai,
and planned to conquer it, as they had been commanded to do.
Once again Joshua
sent out his spies, and they told him, that it was
a small city, and
that it could easily be conquered by 2 to 3 thousand soldiers.
Joshua
had a complete disaster on his hands, instead of the victory,
which
we showed that he had been promised in Joshua Chapter 1.
Joshua
7:4 So
there went up thither of the people about three
thousand men:
and they fled before the men of Ai.
Joshua
7:5 And the men of Ai smote of
them about thirty and six men:
for they chased them from before the gate even unto
Shebarim,
and
smote them
in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people
melted,
and became
as water.
Joshua
was completely distraught, so much so that he blamed God
for the
disaster.
Joshua
7:6 ¶ And
Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face
before the ark of the
LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel,
and put dust upon
their heads.
Joshua
7:7 And
Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at
all
brought
this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites,
to destroy
us?
would to God we had been content,
and dwelt on the
other side Jordan!
Joshua
7:8 O
Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs
before their enemies!
Joshua
7:9 For
the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land
shall hear of it, and
shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth:
and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
The
LORD asked Joshua, why are you lying on the ground?
He also
told him to get up.
Joshua 7:10 ¶ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up;
wherefore liest thou
thus upon thy face?
It did
not cross poor Joshua’s mind, that there was sin in his camp.
In
mercy the Eternal God told Joshua the precise reason for their
defeat.
It is exactly the same today, and this is the purpose for this
document. We
all have to understand that there is a definite,
and legal
reason, why our homes, do not have peace.
We
might not know the reason, as Joshua did not know the reason,
or we
might choose, to treat the legal reason as trivial,
and
therefore we continue to reap the consequences.
This is
not only serious, but it is critical, because we are clearly told
that
the Eternal God will not be with us, regardless of what we might
think,
and the excuses, that we might make for our rebellion.
The
automatic reaction is to deceive ourselves,
and
give ourselves permission to continue down the road of ruin.
Joshua 7:11 Israel hath sinned,
and they have also transgressed my covenant
which I
commanded them:
for they have even taken of the accursed thing,
and have also stolen,
and dissembled also,
and they have put it
even among their own stuff.
Joshua 7:12 Therefore the
children of Israel could not stand before their enemies,
but turned their
backs before their enemies, because they were accursed:
neither
will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
We also
have to understand, that 36 men died, who should not have died.
Therefore,
Achan was guilty of murder, because he personally caused
their deaths.
We need
to get it into our very thick heads, that our rebellion,
is
prolonging the dreadful suffering, which we can all see on the Tel-Lie-Vision,
and
various news media.
Just like
Achan, we are responsible.
We also
have to understand, that we can deceive ourselves into thinking
that we
are not doing anything wrong, when in fact we are also causing serious
damage
to the body of Christ. We are actually, literally causing all sorts of pain,
and
suffering, to the body of Christ, and as I said prolonging the pain of millions
of
innocent people.
Do we
really care?
Achan
did not consider for one second that,
he had
caused pain and death to others, and neither do we.
It is
the Eternal God, who put Moses and Joshua over the nations of Biblical Israel.
It is a
simple fact that many of the people under them, would have preferred
someone
else. This principle started right at the top.
Even
Aaron, and Miriam, Moses’ brother and sister.
Numbers
12:1 ¶ And Miriam and Aaron
spake against Moses
because
of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married:
for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
Numbers
12:2 And they said, Hath the
LORD indeed spoken only by Moses?
hath he
not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
This is
the appraisal that Eternal God gave of Moses.
Numbers
12:3 (Now the
man Moses was very meek, above all the men
which were
upon the face of the earth.)
The
Eternal God asked Aaron and Miriam, if they were not afraid
to
complain about Moses.
Numbers
12:8 With him will I speak mouth
to mouth, even apparently,
and not
in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:
wherefore
then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
The
next thing we hear is that the Lord was very angry with both of them.
Numbers
12:9 And the anger of the LORD
was kindled against them;
and he
departed.
Miriam
ended up with Leprosy.
Numbers
12:10 ¶ And the cloud departed
from off the tabernacle;
and,
behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam,
and,
behold, she was leprous.
I
believe that it was only because Aaron was the High Priest, that he did not
suffer
leprosy, as it would have disqualified him from his position of High Priest.
Aaron
had already lost two sons in the wilderness of Sinai, because of rebellion.
The lesson
is clear, Rebellion ultimately leads to death.
Numbers 3:4
And Nadab
and Abihu died before the LORD,
when they
offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai,
and they
had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office
in the
sight of Aaron their father.
It is
only because her brother Moses prayed for her,
that
Miriam was cleansed from her leprosy.
Numbers
12:13 And Moses cried unto the
LORD, saying, Heal her now,
O God, I
beseech thee.
Numbers
12:14 And the LORD said unto
Moses, If her father had but spit in her face,
should
she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days,
and after
that let her be received in again.
We need
to understand that it is not up to our own intelligence,
to
determine what is best for the body of Christ.
Like
Aaron and Miriam, we can think what we like,
and we
can also do exactly as we desire,
however,
there will always be consequences.

Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of
them in the body,

or one member be
honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

Of It ?
Achan
thought that he was isolated, and safe in his tent,
and
that he could do what he wanted.
He was
very wrong indeed.
Many people
do exactly the very same today.
The
death penalty for disobedience was clearly stated in Joshua
chapter 1
Joshua 1:18 Whosoever he be that
doth rebel against thy commandment,
and will
not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him,
he shall be
put to death:
only be strong and of a good courage.
Achan
also stole directly from the Eternal God.
Joshua 7:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of
brass and iron,
are consecrated unto
the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Having
drawn lots, Achan was identified as the culprit.
He
acknowledge what he had done, and told Joshua that the items,
which
he has stolen was in his tent.
Joshua
7:20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I
have sinned
against the LORD God
of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
Joshua 7:21 When I saw among the spoils
a
goodly Babylonish garment,
and
two
hundred shekels of silver,
and
a wedge
of gold of fifty shekels weight,
then I coveted them,
and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth
in the midst of my
tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua 7:22
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto
the tent; and,
behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
All the
nation of Biblical Israel had been warned, not to take
anything
from Jericho for everything in it including the people were cursed.
Joshua
7:18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the
accursed thing,
lest ye make
yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing,
and make the camp of
Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Joshua 7:20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said,
Indeed I have sinned
against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
Joshua 7:21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly
Babylonish garment,
and two hundred
shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight,
then I coveted them,
and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth
in the midst of my
tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua 7:22
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto
the tent; and,
behold, it was hid in
his tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua 7:23 And they took them out of the midst of the
tent, and brought them
unto Joshua, and unto
all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.
Joshua 7:24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took
Achan the son of Zerah,
and the silver, and
the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters,
and his oxen, and his
asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had:
and they brought them
unto the valley of Achor.
Joshua 7:25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us?
the LORD shall trouble
thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with
fire,
after they
had stoned them with stones.
Here is
the lesson for us today.
If
perchance, we have anything in our homes, which qualifies,
as an
abomination, we will inevitably have a poblem.
It is an
unbreakable principle.
It makes
not the slightest difference, how these things come to be
in our
homes. Our environment will be cursed, and regardless of what we might
think,
the Eternal God, will not be with us anymore.
We
might think that we are keeping the commandments,
studying
the Bible, praying, and even believe that we are hearing from the Eternal
God,
Himself.
According
to Joshua chapter 7, until the problem is resolved,
everything
else is quite pointless.
Of course directly related to this is the sin of
rebellion.
We have
to understand that what is required of us is:
absolute
obedience
absolute
purity,
absolute
unselfishness,
absolute
love,
absolute
honesty,
and an
unpolluted environment.
These
are not just my ideas, they are the critical lessons of the Bible.
